Using Google Lens to find those stylish chairs you just saw in a cafe, unlocking the phone with your face, self-driving cars stopping at a red light, tagging your friends online—none of this would be possible without image recognition.

Since image recognition is increasingly important in daily life, we want to shed some light on the topic.

Image recognition is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that refers to a software‘s ability to recognize places, objects, people, actions, animals, or text from an image or video.

Image recognition consists of four main techniques:

Classification: The goal of classification is to identify the category into which a specific image fits.

Tagging/labeling: This is a type of classification, but with a higher level of accuracy. For example, several objects can be tagged and labeled within one image.

Object detection: Detection is used to locate a particular object within an image. After the object is detected, a bounding box is placed around it.

Segmentation: With segmentation, an element of an image can be localized down to the nearest pixel.

Image Recognition vs. Computer Vision & Co.

Before we move on, let’s briefly tap into some terminology you might encounter within the context of AI image recognition: computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning.

Computer vision is a set of techniques that enable computers to identify important information from images, videos, or other visual inputs and take automated actions based on it. In other words, it’s a process of training computers to “see” and then “act." Image recognition is a subcategory of computer vision.

💡 Tip: Automations are a great way to simplify workflows in companies of all sizes. Our Guide to Marketing Automation will show you how it’s done.

Machine learning is a subset of AI that strives to complete certain tasks by predictions based on inputs and algorithms. For example, a computer system trained with an algorithm of images of cats would eventually learn to identify pictures of cats by itself.

💡 Tip: Want to learn more about AI? We’ve got you covered: Social Media Bots, AI in Marketing, Media Impact Analysis.

Deep learning is a subcategory of machine learning where artificial neural networks (aka. algorithms mimicking our brain) learn from large amounts of data.

Neural networks are a type of machine learning modeled after the human brain. Here's a cool video that explains what neural networks are and how they work in more depth.

Neural Networks Explained - Machine Learning Tutorial for Beginners

Chapter one complete! 🥳 We’ll continue by answering…

How image recognition works in four steps.

Step 1: Extraction of pixel features of an image

Step 2: Preparation of labeled images to train the model

Step 3: Training the model to recognize images

Step 1: Extraction of Pixel Features of an Image

In the first step of AI image recognition, a large number of characteristics (called features) are extracted from an image. An image consists of pixels that are each assigned a number or a set that describes its color depth.

Step 2: Preparation of Labeled Images to Train the Model

After the image is broken down into thousands of individual features, the components are labeled to train the model to recognize them.

The golden rule: The more labeled components there are, the more accurately the model can be trained.

Step 3: Training the Model to Recognize Images

The actual training of the model takes place during this step. The images are inserted into an artificial neural network, which acts as a large filter. Extracted images are then added to the input and the labels to the output side.

The goal is to train neural networks so that an image coming from the input will match the right label at the output.

After the training, the model can be used to recognize unknown, new images. However, this is only possible if it has been trained with enough data to correctly label new images on its own.

Before we wrap up, let’s have a look at how image recognition is put into practice.

Many industries have already discovered the benefits and possibilities of AI-powered image recognition, including:

Thanks to image recognition software, online shopping has never been as fast and simple as it is today.

For example, the mobile app of the fashion retailer ASOS encourages customers to take photos of desired fashion items on the go or upload screenshots from all kinds of media.

The app's AI algorithm then scans the image and shows customers similar products available in the ASOS shop.

Did you see someone wearing an amazing outfit as you were sipping coffee? No problem! Snap away and start shopping. 📷

In the financial sector, banks are increasingly using image recognition to verify the identities of their customers, such as at ATMs for cash withdrawals or bank transfers.

Some also use image recognition to ensure that only authorized personnel has access to certain areas within banks.

Driving is becoming more and more autonomous. Today's vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art image recognition technologies enabling them to perceive and analyze the surroundings (e.g. other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or traffic signs) in real-time.

With AI-powered image recognition, engineers aim to minimize human error, prevent car accidents, and counteract loss of control on the road.

Now, you should have a better idea of what image recognition entails and its versatile use in everyday life. In marketing, image recognition technology enables visual listening, the practice of monitoring and analyzing images online.

Similar to social listening, visual listening lets marketers monitor visual brand mentions and other important entities like logos, objects, and notable people. With so much online conversation happening through images, it's a crucial digital marketing tool.

Image Recognition: What Is It & How Does It Work?

Video marketing has become an absolute necessity for marketers looking to both reach and capture audiences on social media and online platforms. Marketers are certainly no stranger to the benefits of video marketing today — it helps potential buyers understand products and make purchasing decisions through a digestible visual medium, and this is true for both the B2C and B2B sectors.

And while it seems like every layman can now produce engaging videos of decent quality and appeal (just take a look at social platforms such as TikTok), not every video goes viral or leads to the boost in sales or leads your higher-ups are looking for. 

This happens because marketers may not always be creating the types of video content that their audiences crave. Furthermore, it takes time for a brand, page, or new content format to gain sufficient traction. As such, marketers can’t create one-off video content in the hopes that they deliver on the results that were planned for. While this caveat can make video marketing seem daunting, marketers can easily venture on the path to success with the right video content strategy.

In this guide, we spill the secrets for successful video marketing so that you can add video content to your marketing arsenal with ease.

Insights and Top Tips from Video Marketing Experts

Video marketing is simply the use of video for business marketing, be it directly or indirectly. This can mean using video content as a marketing tool to attract followers, raise awareness about your brand or product, drive leads to your site, or generate greater sales. 

Video content can be hosted on owned platforms such as your website, blog, or social media platforms, as well as third-party sites such as Wistia, YouTube, or Vimeo. 

In the following section, we will take a look at the various types of content available to marketers.

The first step towards successful video marketing involves the creation of the right type of video content for your audience.

The types of video content that marketers can create are as follows:

Interviews, Partnerships, and Speaking Opportunities

Augmented Reality (AR) & 360-Degree Videos

Brand videos serve to introduce your brand to consumers who may not be familiar with your company.

Product videos fulfill a similar purpose but go deeper into explaining a certain product or product feature.

As such, this format is more top-of-funnel and serves to create greater interest in your brand. Animated videos can be used to put a creative spin on your brand or concept. 

Who brand and product videos are for: Potential clients looking to discover new brands or existing clients looking to learn about new features.

Explainer videos break down a new or complicated concept that is often, but not always, related to your product. This can help consumers better understand more complicated processes related to the purchasing or usage of your product.

Explainer videos that discuss peripheral concepts or issues can be used to invoke thought leadership and showcase your expertise. These can even be done in the form of short video infographics.

Certain explainer videos can also take the form of a product or brand video by exploring buyer pain points and providing solutions for them. Depending on the content of these videos, they can target both top and bottom-of-funnel consumers. 

Animation can also be used to convey points that are less tangible and thus more difficult to explain.

Who explainer videos are for: Potential clients looking to compare your brand’s features with that of a competitor; existing clients who may be researching specific features or are confused about how to use your product.

Brands looking to reach out to a wider audience or build greater brand credibility within their community often engage companies from other industries in the form of interviews, co-branded partnerships, or speaking opportunities. These opportunities help to put faces to your brand while displaying the wider applications of your product beyond your industry.

While these videos don’t directly contribute to driving sales, they do serve to create potential leads for your business. 

Who interview, partnership, and speaking opportunity videos are for: Potential and existing clients in other industries looking for more expert content.

Meltwater Culture

Meltwater teams describe their experience of the Meltwater Culture. Featuring employees from across the globe. 

Event recaps may seem like a no-brainer, but they can be great assets for both existing and potential clients. Existing clients are able to benefit from a summary of takeaways from the event and may be able to ‘ride the high’ by engaging in deeper conversations with you as a result. Potential clients may also benefit from developing a greater interest in your business. Ultimately, showing the event’s scale or reputable partners can also help to build your own reputation. These videos should be pushed out as soon as possible to continue building on the momentum generated by your event. 

Who event recap videos are for: Event attendees who are interested in specific products and non-attendees who may develop an interest in your brand.

Both client testimonials and event recaps may seem like a way for brands to simply show off, but these are incredibly important sources of word-of-mouth marketing. These recommendations are more likely to be trusted and are therefore more valuable.

Client testimonials, in particular, explicitly detail why your potential clients should work with you and can help push undecided mid-funnel consumers over the edge.

Who client testimonial videos are for: Potential clients who are on-the-fence about your brand or considering various options.

Meltwater Customer Story: TEAM LEWIS

The Economist’s customer story helps potential clients translate Meltwater’s products into value for their organization.

As COVID-19 continued to limit the occurrence of in-person events, both B2C and B2B companies added webinars and other live video content to their regular content strategy, this has shown no sign of slowing post-pandemic as has become part of their scheduled content strategies moving forward.

Webinars and workshops allow B2B businesses to continue ‘meeting’ their clients and other stakeholders on a virtual platform, while live streaming is especially important to B2C services as this allows brands to showcase their products in real-time.

Who webinar, workshop, and live videos are for: Potential clients who are interested in the topics you’re covering and existing clients whom you are continuing to service

Despite the restrictions imposed on events due to COVID-19, our Social Media Festival in 2020 was still able to be held virtually. This means that audiences within and beyond the speakers’ locations are still able to tune in and gain valuable insights long after the event has ended. 

AR and 360-degree videos can help to provide a more interesting approach to the above video types and help keep users engaged. For example, an AR short film or explainer video provides more visual stimuli for audiences and helps them to stay interested in your content.

However, these features are not utilized often by marketers as they can be difficult to create, require specific software or hardware for viewing, and may distract from the main point of your video.

As such, while it’s great to keep an open mind when it comes to video content, marketers should decide whether these formats are best suited for the content they wish to create before utilizing them.

360-degree videos are best suited for long-form, slower-paced, ‘exploration’ type content, while AR videos best suit shorter-form, more impact-driven content.  

Who augmented reality (AR) & 360-degree videos are for: Potential clients who are looking for a hook into your content or brand or a break from the norm.

AR technology, best known for its use in filters on social media and other applications, adds novelty to the user experience as more customers continue to shop from home

In our article on social media video marketing strategies, we broke down the types of video content available on social media. This can also form part of your brand’s video marketing strategy. Content specifically made for social media may have restrictions on size, length, and aspect ratio, and thus should be considered separately from other web-based or web-hosted video content.

Tip: Check out all important and current video sizes.

Most importantly, audiences on social media may not always be watching your videos with audio, and while adding subtitles is a best practice across the board for all video content, it is especially important for social media. As a general rule of thumb, videos for social media should be kept as short and snappy as possible to grab attention within the short span that it comes into your viewers’ purview.

Video production for social need not be complicated. In fact, platforms like TikTok have paved the way for big brands to show off behind-the-scenes footage and even outtakes as this kind of unpolished content resonates well with audiences, they can even be turned off if something is too polished and looks like an ad (for more information, check out these TikTok stats).

There are also video marketing services tailored to video content on social media. These include businesses like Animoto and apps like Mojo that can help you produce eye-catching content with the help of templates. 

Who social-specific videos are for: Your existing and potential target audiences, fans, and followers on social media

Videos made on or for social platforms can be vastly different from the traditional formats that marketers may be used to. TikTok’s Duet function, for example, allows two or more people to collaborate or form funny video collages and scenarios. 

TIP: Regardless of which type of video your team is looking to create, it’s important to always think about your audience’s needs and stage in the funnel before you embark on your project. Based on the above, your top-of-funnel audiences are going to want to see more content introducing your brand and what you have to offer, while mid-funnel audiences are looking for reasons to choose you over your competitors. Bottom-of-funnel audiences are likely your existing clientele and will want to see more how-to videos, educational videos, explainers, new product features, and other supplementary content that will continue to support them while they use your product.  Depending which stage the buyer is in: Awareness, consideration and decision stages, the video content should be tailored accordingly. Small businesses need not fret — a lower budget doesn't mean sacrificing on video content types or production quality. Video production can also be made simple with the help of video marketing services, templates, and apps like Adobe Premiere Rush, Adobe Spark, or even Canva.

Video marketers often focus only on creating their content and give little thought to where that content should live. However, this in itself can be an important step in determining the success of your video marketing strategy.

After all, getting your concept and content approved isn’t the endgame. Marketers should aim to maximize where their content can or should be hosted to avoid putting in all that effort for little or no views.

The first option for video content-hosting is the most obvious of the lot. Marketers should maximize their usage of owned platforms when it comes to video marketing.

The Secrets of Successful Video Marketing

Planning for the future has always prompted larger-than-life ideas. One such idea has been built (and deployed) right here in the present. It’s called augmented reality (AR), and it’s giving cutting-edge brands a whole new way to create content, engage audiences, and create lasting impressions.

While you might not be familiar with augmented reality, chances are you’ve experienced it in some way. For example, those funky filters on your phone that turn your face into a dog? That’s augmented reality at play. And those friendly little critters in Pokemon Go? That’s all the handiwork of AR.

Let’s take a deeper dive into the intersection of reality and virtual technology and how you might apply it in your branded experiences.

Definition: What is Augmented Reality (AR)?

What Augmented Reality Software And Hardware Are Required To Implement AR?

Let’s start with a solid augmented reality definition — what is AR, really?

We define augmented reality as a live direct or indirect view of the real world with elements that have been "augmented," or enhanced, by computer-generated graphics, audio, or video.

Brands use this technology for marketing, training, gaming, entertainment, and other applications. We commonly see them as social media filters or interactive games, but there are many other use cases.

Don’t confuse AR with virtual reality (VR). When comparing augmented reality vs. virtual reality, VR creates a completely simulated world while AR adds digital elements to the existing world.

With augmented reality (AR), computer-generated images are superimposed over a user's real-world view. Virtual reality (VR), on the other hand, is a completely simulated environment.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Augmented reality has the advantage of being more immersive than virtual reality. Because users can see their real-world surroundings, they feel more connected to the experience. Additionally, they can play augmented reality games anywhere, since all they need is a smartphone or tablet.

The downside to AR is that it's not as realistic as VR. The graphics are usually not as detailed, and the gameplay can be choppy if there's too much going on in the real world.

With VR, the inverse is true. Experiences are more detailed, even though they feel other-worldly. They also tend to work seamlessly because they exist in their own ecosystem, completely detached from the real world.

Though it might seem like new, cutting-edge technology, AR has been around for quite some time. Many companies have found practical ways to put it to use in real-world environments.

Let’s look at some augmented reality examples:

Augmented Reality in Education and Training

One of the most popular and well-known examples of augmented reality games is Pokémon GO.

This smartphone app game allows players to catch virtual Pokémon in the real world using their smartphone’s camera. The game also uses GPS to track the player’s location and displays Pokémon nearby.

Pokemon GO HoloLens 2 AR Demo by Niantic

Another example of AR-enhanced technology is Google Glass.

Google Glass is a wearable computer with a head-mounted display. It looks like a pair of glasses, except the device can take pictures, record videos, and get directions. The device displays this information directly to the wearer via the heads-up display.

Google Glass How-to: Getting Started

We also see AR systems at work in interior design and decorating.

For example, an interior design firm might develop an AR app to do mock-ups of a client’s home or business. The user can see what a certain piece of furniture, paint color, tile, or design might look like in their home before they move forward.
